Mr. Speaker, I will be brief enough to allow my colleagues to speak. I simply want to point out to our colleague from the Liberal Party that there is a subject he completely forgot to talk about, and it is our $600 billion debt.
When he talks about the good things, he always shows only one side of the coin. When he talks about the deficit, he says that it is being reduced. Well, the deficit is not being reduced through good management and certainly not through spending cuts because, next year, there will be no cuts in government spending. The government is reducing the deficit by using the unemployment insurance fund, by shirking its responsibilities, by cutting its transfers to provinces, by laying off employees. That is how the deficit is being reduced.
We hear constantly about the referendum. We hear that Quebecers voted no in the last referendum. But everybody forgets to say that the yes side is now up to 49.5 or 49.6 per cent and that it will win the next time.
I would like the member to tell us about the programs he has proposed to eliminate the debt.
